Chargers sign kicker Roberto Aguayo to reserve/future contract

It wouldn’t be fitting for another week to pass without the Chargers signing a kicker. They did just that Wednesday, locking up the Buccaneers’ former second-round pick of 2016, kicker Roberto Aguayo, to a reserve/future contract.

Aguayo is the NCAA’s most accurate kicker of all time, finishing his career with Florida State having converted on 88.5 percent of his kicks. However, that accuracy did not translate to the professional level. Aguayo converted on just 22-of-31 kicks with the Bucs in his rookie campaign, which was good for a ghastly 71 percent.

Aguayo also missed two of his extra-point attempts (32-of-34) with Tampa Bay.

But Aguayo does have a good leg and the pedigree to turn things around after spending time on the Bears and Panthers practice squads in 2017. And he certainly couldn’t be much worse than Travis Coons, Younghoe Koo, Nick Novak or Nick Rose — could he?
